Hello my friends! Welcome back to my blog, where today we will be completing the Watch Order for the entire Power Rangers franchise. As I've said before this is a franchise very dear to me and is one that its current owners Hasbro seem to have all but abandoned, which is a shame as several of the series we will talk about will be the ones that Hasbro actually oversaw, and many of them did things that many older fans of Power Rangers had been asking for for a long time, becoming quite well-liked as a result.  I'm also going to take the time here to talk about a couple of other things in Power Rangers that are very much worth discussing, and actually play some role in the ongoing development of the franchise going forwards.  Also while my opinion on some of the previous seasons have varied, I generally think all of these are of decent, if not very good quality, and as a result I have positive opinions of all of these shows and would describe most of them as well worth a watch, e...

Hello my friends! I hope you've all had a fantastic holiday! Welcome back to my blog, where we are continuing with our Power Rangers Franchise Watch Order to narrow down the best episodes for each season, so that if any of you out there want to sit and watch Power Rangers, either as a single season or as the entire franchise, then you have a more manageable list than either the 30-50 episodes per season, or the 973 episodes that the franchise contains overall. Like with the previous part of this Watch Order the majority of the seasons we are about to discuss are pretty standalone, with the exception of some crossovers that will feature returning characters. As a result you don't need to watch more than the one season in most cases.  However there are multiple seasons here that I think are well worth watching, and providing that you can accept some of the campier and cheesier elements that come with a season of superhero kids tv I think there are some very fun serialised storyli...

Hello my friends, and welcome back to my blog. Today I wanted to continue my Power Rangers Watch Order, as I try to highlight the very best Power Rangers episodes to watch from this entire 30 year franchise. This has become even more important to me as recent actions by Hasbro, including a Heritage Auction that saw the auctioning off of all props (from some kept in storage for decades to even the newest props created for the 2023 episodes) seems to have suggested that the franchise is effectively over, and that whatever form, if any, Power Rangers takes in the future it will not involve any existing live-action props. Obviously this is a rather ignominious end for one of my favourite and most beloved franchises, and so I want to do what I can to encourage others to experience some of this legacy for themselves, hence these Watch Orders. Unlike the first few years of the franchise, which featured a solid and ongoing continuity sharing several characters, allowing an evolution of the sto...

Hello my friends, and welcome back to my blog. So after well over a decade an age has come to an end this past week, and that was the run of DC Comics shows on The CW network. They've often been maligned, with even fans of them admitting that they have not been the best shows. I have seen them described as cheap, with ambitions that were impossible to meet with their small budgets. There are also many critiques out there about the overly soap-opera elements of the main characters, with interpersonal and relationship drama being as much of a driving factor behind the shows as the action, something that is true of CW's other flagship shows Supernatural , The Vampire Diaries , and The 100 . However I have always felt that there is a lot to defend and celebrate about everything DC and the CW were able to accomplish, especially in the inter-connected ArrowVerse they created, featuring plenty of lesser-known DC super-heroes across several shows. They accomplished a lot with very litt...
